Free Sucker with Every Punch
The beatniks are making trouble at the malt shop, and Pops is calling the cops. But when one acts sorry, Pops relents and turns his back. POW!
A radio star before movies and TV, his
instantly-recognizable deep voice is
ubiquitous, from Boris
Badenov to Burgermeister Meisterburger
to Ludwig
Von Drake to the Pillsbury Dough Boy. He
only
directed one film...sadly, this one.
Known for Westerns, he did a bunch of
fantasy as well. Was Clay Culhane on
"The Black Saddle," Nick Barkley on
"The Big Valley," Steve Curan in
The Crawling Hand, and
King Leonidas in The Sword and
the Sorcerer.
With over 150 credits from the '30s to
the '80s, he's played small parts in
tons of TV episodes, as well as lending
his voice to such shows as "Jonny
Quest," "The Flintstones," and "The
Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show."
A silent-film-era actor who has credits
as far back as 1913, Delaney was Jimmy
Gray in Hell-Bent for
Frisco and Judd Rascomb in
The Lonesome Trail. Sadly,
Beatniks! was his last
picture.
